Rollover text

Hi, this is probably an easy one ... can someone please tell me the coding to get rollover text? Specifically, I want it so that when a user moves their mouse over a button, some text comes up in a small box, much like it does when you roll the mouse over Windows Start button and you get "Click here to begin". Im sure it includes onMouseEnter/Exit, but Im not sure about the exact coding in the middle...
Thanks for any help,
Adrian.

Hi ac11ca,
you are right this works with "mouseenter" etc...
You need a button and a field for the info text.
Put this into the script of the "rollover" button:
Code: Select all
on mouseenter
## Show into text...
put "This is a button!" into fld "You info field here"
end mouseenter
on mouseleave
## Hide info text again...
put empty into fld "You info field here"
end mouseleave
That's it, you get the picture
Regards
Klaus
Try the tooltip...

You can also use the "tooltip" command...
Code: Select all
on mouseEnter
set the toolTip of me to "Some Text"
end mouseEnter
That code would be in the button....

Ah, yes, maybe that is what "acelevenca" means?!
And this is something that does not even require scripting, as long as the "tooltip" is just static text.
